What if there weren’t any religion to guide us.

That would mean no rewards of Heaven and no punishments in Hell for the after life.

Would people still contribute to charity, and abstain from what’s wrong yet tempting?

Few, obviously, sadly too. Just look at our current standing even with religions in place, this world is still a mess. If you’d read the papers, petty crimes happen as often as the Sun’s routine to rise and set.

Those who disregard God and his teachings are considered “unholy” or “blasphemous”. They disbelief in rewards after death, unthreatened by spiritual punishments for the crimes in their life time, and through all the disbelief they bare, they still practice the morally right things. This people deserve our respect, more than anyone of our religious leaders.
